Vincenzo Rabito, an illiterate Sicilian farm worker of low rank, portrays his life from 1899 to 1981. These years, recorded in his diary, are the protagonists of the documentary. From extreme poverty and global conflict to the economic boom ―the misfortune and redemption. Vincenzo’s voice and his thrilling autobiography are juxtaposed with distant and current pictures. It is 20th century Italian history seen from a very special point of view.
